turbo 400 questions?
I'm in the middle of my build right now and have been thinking about changing the A4 to a th 400. I have searched and read the sticky for a few days and want to get a few things straight.
1. I can use a TC made for the swap OR use a 9.5"/10" sbc if I get the TCI flywheel and use a spacer. Right?
This is my main concern. I found a 400 w/ 4" tail that needs rebuilt for a $100 and I'm thinking about going after it.
Thanks Nick W.

If you do the work yourself you can get high quality parts and have it hold 550-600 hp for under $500 not including the TC.

If you can't prove mileage it really doesn't matter if it has 8k on the trans or 200k on it a smart buyer is going to see it as a rebuildable core and offer a fair price for a core. Same with the converter.
